Los Angeles -- John Barrowman, star of British television's "Torchwood," is to continue his recurring role on the U.S. dramedy "Desperate Housewives," ABC said.

"Gaby risks her safety to help Angie; Lynette's fate and that of her unborn child lie in the hands of Eddie; Susan comes to grips with her financial woes; Bree considers confessing a secret she's harbored for years; and Angie must submit to Patrick's demands in order to protect her son," the network said in a synopsis of the season finale.

Barrowman, who has played the menacing character Patrick in several episodes of the show, is to reprise the role in the season finale scheduled to air May 16.

Beckham: Return pushed back to November

Los Angeles -- British soccer star David Beckham said Monday he has pushed back the timetable for his return from an Achilles tendon injury to November.

During an appearance on ABC-TV's "The View," Beckham said his recovery from the ruptured tendon is taking longer than he had thought, delaying a return originally set for September.

"I won't be running for another three months, so I will be playing again in, probably, November," Beckham told ABC, meaning he will miss the MLS regular season for the Los Angeles Galaxy, perhaps returning in time for the playoffs.

Beckham suffered the injury in March while playing on loan to AC Milan. He underwent surgery, ending his hopes of playing for England in the 2010 World Cup.
